“Our North Star is ‘1 engineer, 1 month, 1 million lines of code.’”
Ah, another deranged LinkedIn post boasting things that will never happen. It’s a shame that Microsoft turned itself into an organization that selects for these kinds of people instead of actual technical talent.
“It appears my post generated far more attention than I intended… with a lot of speculative reading between the lines… Just to clarify… Windows is NOT being rewritten in Rust with AI.
My team’s project is a research project. We are building tech to make migration from language to language possible. The intent of my post was to find like-minded engineers to join us on the next stage of this multi-year endeavor—not to set a new strategy for Windows 11+ or to imply that Rust is an endpoint.”

Later on:
Ah a research project <makes jerking off motion>
4100 lines of code per hour lmao no
I can do that.
None of the code will work and everything will be built on hallucinated variables and loops that don’t do anything, but I can do it! Hire me!
I can write a macro to unroll any loop I run across, hit that mill easy as pie
Its a research project so we can justify not paying you.
lmao someone tried showing off on main and legal got involved. expect his Microsoft role to have an end date some time in 26Q1
Normally I would agree but honestly I think the AI mania is so intense at Microsoft that they probably just said that they loved his enthusiasm
